Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) slammed President Trump’s Wednesday evening speech about his administration’s ongoing military operations against Iran.

“I wanted so much for President Trump to put America First,” Greene wrote in a post on X. “That’s what I believed he would do. All I heard from his speech tonight was WAR WAR WAR.”

In a 20-minute address to the nation on Wednesday evening, the president said his administration was “on track to complete all of America’s military objectives shortly, very shortly.”

He also threatened to “hit each and every one” of the country’s energy infrastructure if Tehran does not agree to a peace deal in the coming weeks.

“We’re going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks; we’re going to bring them back to the stone ages where they belong,” Trump said. “In the meantime, discussions are ongoing.”

The retired congresswoman listed out a number of issues she wished the president had addressed, including affordability, the national debt, social security funding, insurance costs, employment opportunities, education and the future of the nation.

“I’m so beyond done,” Greene wrote on the social platform X. “I pray for our military and their families. I pray for innocent people all over the world. I pray for peace and prosperity for all.”

Democratic Sen. Andy Kim (N.J.) joined in on criticizing the president’s speech and the U.S. operations against Iran, calling them “an absolute disaster” in an X post.

“He keeps telling us the war is about to end, but those are just lies. Trump needs to end this,” Kim said. “He cannot be allowed to deploy troops on the ground. He cannot keep making the American people pay billions.”

Republicans, such as Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), commended the administration’s actions in the Middle East.

“President Trump is right about the fanatical regime in Iran,” Scott wrote in an X post. “For too long they chanted death to America, pursued nuclear weapons, and killed Americans.

“The objective is clear, and I’m thankful our military is delivering on the mission,” the senator continued. “Americans are safer as a result.”
